Title: Seasoned snack foods and methods for production thereof
Inventor: MAEGLI JACK W
IPC: A23L1/18
Filed: 1993-08-17
Abstract: A low fat content, seasoned, cereal-based snack food having a low moisture content is produced. An adhesive for the seasoning is an at least partially amorphous form of a mixture of at least one monosaccharide, preferably glucose, and at least one polyhydric, aliphatic, saturated alcohol having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably glycerol. The adhesive is applied to the snack food by direct spraying on the snack food or by encapsulating the adhesive in a fat and blending the encapsulated adhesive with the snack food.

Abstract: A selective call messaging peripheral (100) capable of receiving at least one message and communicating it to an electronic information processing device (200) comprises a microcontroller (105) including a processor (106) for executing a microcode program that controls operation of the peripheral and a receiver (103) that operates to receive and demodulate an information signal to provide a recovered information signal including an address signal and the message. A correlator (109) compares the recovered address signal with a predetermined address and generates an address detection, indicating selection of the peripheral. A PCMCIA memory only interface (119) communicates notification of address detection to the electronic information processing device (200), and in response to a message read command received from the electronic information processing device (200), the microcontroller (105) configures the Personal Computer Memory Card Interface Association (PCMCIA) interface (119) to permit the electronic information processing device (200) to read the message from the peripheral (100).

Abstract: A test-strip analysis system consisting of an evaluation device having a test-strip holder (3) and suitable test strips. The test-strip holder (3) is used for positioning the test strip (4) in a defined position with respect to a measuring unit (11). It has a test-strip support (20) and a guide for the test strip. Exact positioning with simple manipulation and with low constructional complexity is achieved in that at least a part of the test-strip support (20) is designed as a prop (24) in the region in which the leading section (12) of the test strip introduced first into the device is located in the measurement position, which prop is shifted in height with respect to the mid-plane (22) of the test-field region (13), with the test-strip holder (3) at the same time having a pressure element (33) which, in the measurement position between the prop (24) and the test-field region (13) of the test strip (4), presses the latter against the side (34) lying opposite the support (20). The test strip (4) is thereby placed under bending stress, which establishes the defined separation of the at least one test field (6) from the measurement unit (11). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of setting the use-side bristle ends of at least one bundle of bristles during the production of bristle-bearing articles, in particular toothbrushes, in which the bundle of bristles, which has been inserted into a channel of a carrier and cut to a predetermined size, is brought to bear with its use-side bristle ends on the surface of a setting plate, the surface of which corresponds to the setting of the use-side bristle ends of the bundle of bristles. In order to make it possible for a bundle of bristles or the use-side bristle ends of the bundle of bristles to be able to be set without the need for a carrying plate with pistons for displacing the bundle of bristles or the bristles into the channel of the carrier, the bundle of bristles is brought to bear with its use-side bristle ends on the surface of the setting plate by a compressed gas and/or by a vacuum. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for inflating an inflatable device, such as an air bag for restraining a vehicle occupant, comprises a pressure vessel (40), an ignitable propellant material (154) and a cup member (150). The pressure vessel (40) defines a sealed storage chamber (44) containing inflation fluid for inflating the inflatable device. The propellant material (154) produces combustion products including heat and gas for augmenting the inflation fluid in the storage chamber (44). The cup member (150) has a piston portion which is movable between an unactuated position and an actuated position. The piston portion of the cup member includes a plunger portion (160) which opens the pressure vessel (40) upon movement of the piston portion from the unactuated position to the actuated position. The cup member (150) further has a rupturable portion (178) which holds the piston portion in the unactuated position. The apparatus further includes an igniter (152) for igniting the propellant material (154) and for causing pressure to develop a thrust against the cup member (150). The thrust ruptures the rupturable portion (178) of the cup member (150) and propels the piston portion from the unactuated position to the actuated position.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé et un appareil de transmission de signaux de données non-retour à zéro (NRZ) à travers une interface comprenant une barrière isolante disposée entre deux dispositifs interconnectés par l'intermédiaire d'un bus. L'appareil comprend un différentiateur de signaux recevant un signal de données NRZ et faisant sortir un signal différentié. Un circuit de commande comprenant une porte à trois états présente, comme premier signal d'entrée, le signal différentié, afin de valider la porte à trois états lorsque la valeur de signal différencié est élevée. Une tension de polarisation est appliquée à une sortie de la porte à trois états afin de dériver un signal de transmission comme signal de sortie, lequel doit être transmis par l'intermédiaire du bus à travers l'interface entre les deux dispositifs. De cette manière, le signal de transmission sortant du premier dispositif comprend un signal de transmission intermédiaire correspondant à la tension de polarisation lorsque la porte à trois états est invalidée; un signal de transmission de valeur, élevée lorsque la porte à trois états est validée et que la valeur du premier signal d'entrée dans la porte à trois états est élevée; et un signal de transmission faible lorsque ladite porte est validée et que la valeur du premier signal d'entrée dans cette porte est faible. Une bascule de Schmitt est utilisée comme un récepteur dans le second dispositif afin de recevoir, comme entrée, le signal de transmission, et afin d'émettre un signal de données reconstitué correspondant au signal de données synchronisé.
